Just keep at it and you will get there. :)

YAYY! Well done!

Thank you all SO much for the encouragement and advice! We're gonna get out there and do our best and who knows, maybe one day we'll be doing a 10k!

You have pretty eyes and a nice smile. :)

See a Chiropractor. For serious, mine really helped me with my knee pain.

The tortilla itself could easily be 250-300 calories, then add in the fillings and 900 calories doesn't sound so absurd. I'm guessing you could knock off maybe 150-200 calories for the cheese, but I'm unsure. Now you know for the future. :)

I do use a food scale. Yes, I did not log on Sunday because it was a free day, but I did not go overboard...at least I don't think. I'm usually quite consistent. Thank you for the advice, I appreciate it. :)

Yes, it was pretty steady every week. I may have had a few weeks where there wasn't a loss, but it wasn't very many.

Thanks for your comments guys. Just to clarify, I'm not a 'newbie', I've been at this for awhile. In 2012 I lost 110lbs, 2013 I stayed the same weight fluctuation only a few pounds the entire year, and then at the beginning of this year I gained about 40lbs so now I'm working on getting back down to where I was in 2012 and…

Well done on your loss. I am so sorry for your diagnosis, but glad to hear you're a fighter. You can beat this!!! Praying for you. ♥

Well, here's the thing - it never gets easier, you just get better. Keep at it, keep pushing. You've got this.

HOW MUCH DO YOU WEIGH? CW - 247 HW-315 GW150 HOW TALL ARE YOU? 5'1.5" Must not forget that half inch! lol WHEN/HOW DO YOU WORKOUT? I aim for 5 - 6 days a week. I walk a lot and use various workout DVD's. Currently I am using Chris Powells Boot Camp DVD. ARE YOU MAINTAINING OR LOSING? Losing HOW MANY CALS DO YOU EAT? 1500 -…

I just read an article by Chris and Heidi Powell and they say 1000 calories over your usual every day amount, but to stay away from trigger foods that will cause you to binge. :)

This.

I've seen this on Netflix. :)

Check out Pinterest. It's like the fountain of amazingness! http://www.pinterest.com/search/pins/?q=cheap%20and%20easy%20meals

Stronglifts... can I access that on my laptop on instead of a cell?

Exactly. Do I need someone to show me how to do them? Should I join the gym or can I do this at home?

Bumpitty?

Is there a book I can purchase or is that something online?

The swimming wouldn't be a problem, it's the getting from the chair to the pool to the chair. It would be tough to do without a lift. Later down the road when she is closer to her weight goal it might not be an issue.

That's great! Unfortunately that wouldn't work for her right now. Maybe down the road a bit though!

This is a great idea, but unfortunately we don't have a pool nearby that has a lift. :(

Thank you everyone. I really appreciate your suggestions. :)

People can only make you feel as bad as you let them. You keep on going to that gym. Obviously that girl has issues that need more attention than going to a gym. You don't have to meet any certain requirement to be seen in public (although, clothing is always a good idea...just sayin'. lol). You're a human being and you…

Muscle does not weigh more than fat. Muscle and fat differ in density but a pound is a pound. A pound of butter does not weigh any less than a pound of broccoli. Edited because I forgot to add this - Don't freak out. Your weight will fluctuate. As long as you are eating good and working out you'll get there. ;)

I really like using Tae Bo. I've used it in my routine before and I've seen great results. :)
